Exclude package files from ghc #50

I am concerned about /usr/lib/ghc-<version>/package.conf.d/*.conf files.

  • Some of them are owned by ghc-lib (cf. pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d). It is the only package that owns that directory (cf. pacman -F /usr/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d/). Very well.
  • Some of them are reported by lostfiles (e.g., /usr/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d/base-compat-0.11.2-JggHr2fdYLe83DSFk1MYK3.conf).
  • Nothing is mentioned about these files in the Haskell package guidelines page of Arch Linux wiki.

What is the status of these untracked files?

  1. they should be tracked by pacman/packages (I'm not sure if it is possible, I do not know Haskell well).
  2. they should be ignored by lostfiles.

Not sure of which solution is recommended. I suppose one of them is desirable; I think they are mutually exclusive.

#34 historically ignored them, but I cannot find trace of that in current version of lostfiles.
